Newport goes green on Saturday, March 14, 2026 for the 68th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, kicking off at 11:00 AM from Newport City Hall. The route winds through Washington Square and down Thames Street before finishing at St. Augustin’s Church.

Expect bagpipe bands, marching units, festive floats, and local organizations filling downtown with Irish pride. It’s one of those classic Newport weekends where the whole city shows up and the celebration lasts well beyond the final march.
